I'm using OS4. Thanks for testing! Possibly the same cause, different symptoms. (OS3.9 on a 68060 in my case). Looks like a java script that is very hungry for system resources (time & memory), let's see what Oliver says. regards, Albrecht -- ________ This email message is made of 100% recycled electrons.________ Public PGP key available on request or from http://www.keyserver.net         ;           This line intentionally left blank ;
